So this is one of the stellations I'm experimenting with for a geomantic mandala. It's unicursal— meaning a single thread or line from beginning to end is implied by the ribbon lining the edge of each point — and the line bounces through a rough fourfold symmetry, making it possible to use for an elemental-and-subelemental ordering of the geomantic signs.
But.
It doesn't seem likely that this form will uncover a hidden calendar related to the zodiac. There's no suitable pattern or layout for the geomantic signs which puts their zodiacal relationships in any useful order. I haven't compared these forms with the stabile/mobile relationship, but no correlation seems likely.
So, I'm left with this mess in the left-hand side of my mandala —
• three of the Air signs are stabile, one is mobile — so they won't balance.
• three of the Water signs are mobile, so they won't balance.
• to have one of the elements at each "cardinal point", means some arrangement that begins from here.

Blocks I use in English class to demonstrate : word order, indirect questions, question tags, colors, shapes, material, comparatives and superalatives, my grading scale and even when to start or stop an group activity. They also can be used to prop open the 40 year old classroom windows.
